Do You Prefer Dumbbells or Barbells for Chest Training?

For a long time, I thought barbell bench press was the main exercise to focus on if you wanted a bigger chest. Being able to add more weight over time made it easy to track progress. But after spending more time with dumbbell presses, I started to appreciate the extra range of motion and how naturally I could position my arms.

I'm curious how it has been for you guys. Have you built a better chest with barbell bench press, or have dumbbells given you better results? Do you use both, or has one become your main chest movement over the years?
